A Walk on the Poet's Edge

About the Book

Inspiration is like a wild horse galloping on a vast deserted island: you never know which way it will go or where it will breed. Inspiration runs free in the minds and the souls of the people it touches. The beauty of the Midwest, the love of a few, and some quiet times to reflect on experiences have opened a door leading to an undiscovered part of myself. For me, this has granted a new perspective on life. The magnitude of these creative insights come as suddenly as a spring thunderstorm and are expressed through poetry. Creativity charged by inspiration, likewise, becomes an unfettered wild animal.

About the Author

Times of inspiration are like a heard of wild horses on a vast deserted island. You never know which way they will go, or where they will breed. Inspiration runs free with the soul. Over that last year, the beautiful scenery of the Midwest, the love of a few that have mended my ailing heart, and some quiet times to reflect on a scattered landscape of life’s experiences, has opened a new part of my soul that has never been reached. This has granted me a new perspective. The magnitude of these insights comes on as suddenly as a spring thunderstorm and leaves as quickly as well. Creativity is an unfettered wild animal. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Child Development from California State University at Fullerton. I have a teaching credential in Special Education from Indiana University Southeast. I am now working on my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I grew up in Iowa however, I am currently residing near the historic town of Madison, Indiana. I have been blessed with being able to raise a child, who is now a grown adult and attending college. I love animals and have two dogs and one chicken. One day I like to have a horse to join my menagerie on the farm.
